Christmas Day 2008

Christmas morning started off with the kids waking up 6:20AM!  They came into our room to wait for Grandma and Grandpa to arrive.  Here they are waiting patiently...

Once Grandpa and Grandma arrived the kids were set loose - here they are running into the family room to see what Santa had left for them.
Alex got a punching bag, a scooter, R/C car, books, heelies, and art supplies.
Maddie was thrilled to find an American Doll with lots of accessories, some text messagers, a doorbell for bedroom, books, and clothes.
Lane found a red barn full of animals, tractors, a large wooden ball track, books, and puzzles.
Grandpa was in on the opening action...
Grandma and Lane enjoyed reading a new book together
After opening Santa gifts, we went over to Grandma Sandra's to open more...
Lane and Kaylex playing tractors together...
Colette, Billie, and I gave our husbands gift certificates to take a Snow Kiting lesson.  Snow kiting is snow boarding with some kind of a parachute.  They teach these lessons up in Fairview Canyon.  The guys are pretty excited to take on this adventure together.
After Grandma Sandra's we returned to Manti to open presents from Grandma Barb and Grandpa John at their house.  The fun never ends on Christmas!  Madison got a wardrobe for her doll clothes.
Check out these Red Sox Jerseys Andy and I received.

Alex got a doctor's kit and doctor's coat.  Grandpa was the sick patient.

Each of the kids also got soft and cozy Red Sox blankets from Grandpa and Grandma.  Christmas day ended by cuddling on the couch watching Christmas movies. 
Check out Alex in his Power Ranger helmet...

Christmas was over.  Now they have all the time in the world to just relax and play over the remainder of the Holiday.  Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!
